I DON'T GET IT

We hear talk about cutting Social Security, cutting Medicare benefits, we're laying off thousands of government workers, our interstate system and bridges are crumbling from coast to coast.  Our schools are a mess and the judgement of many education experts is that kids in other countries are learning far more than our kids are.

Now, I read this morning, that our Secretary of State says we're going to give Egypt $190 million right now and $450 million over time because, he says, Egypt has "extreme needs".

I think we have all the "extreme needs" we can handle right here in the USA.  I don't see any need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly government officials all over the world looking for "extreme needs" somewhere else.
